It is already the first practice? I thought still had today to change my time. Oh well, guess I have to live with what I first posted.

P1 is done and dusted started just shy of 3 hours ago. In fact P2 starts in under half an hour.
I more often than not regret any edits I make in these games when the times or results come up, and would have usually been much better leaving my original guess in place. Blame it on Ramadan and the need for the race to be on Saturday. I guess Bahrain must be something like 8 hours ahead of you depending on what US time zone you are in..

I didn't know you observe Ramadan, Everso - let's show our respect: Ramadan Mubarak!

Yea, I am on the east coast, so yea, it a big time shift. In the days when I lived in California, I used to have wake up at like 5 in the morning to watch the GPs on Sunday.

Be warned, it's the same set up next weekend a the Saudi Arabia race. FP1 will be on Thursday not Friday, so if you need to edit your time you will have to do it by 8.30am on Thursday 8th your time. I am pretty sure that is correct as it's 1.30 pm for me and you're 5 hours behind me.

Hey Michael! What does this mean? Are you out for this year?

[XcraigX]

Here are the times for the Bahrain round of GTP. Looks like last year's champ has not entered a guess and will not defend his title? Hmmm....

11 players this time around. Let me know if you don't see your guess!

I got a different time set than in your list.

He did put in a time, I thought he was going to play after originally saying he wasn't going to. Clearly he's decided not to after all

Thanks for catching that. It was an easy mistake given the other times. I'll repost in a bit.

Sorry, yes, I decided to not play after all. Originally, I thought "Oh well, it won't hurt to post a guess every other week", but then I realized I'm too competitive to just play without trying to win, and I don't want to get sucked into following F1 again.

Have fun, and good luck to everyone who plays!

Omg I think I’m pretty close! But I think @Everso got this one!

By my reckoning it's Everso, yourself and then me. I got within 0.086 of the time on the first race of a new season, which I thought was pretty damn good, and it was still only good enough for 3rd!! It's going to be a long season

[XcraigX]

First let's fix the time entries:

[XcraigX]

This week's winner is @Everso Biggyballies with a time 0.009 seconds away from Max Verstappen's pole time of 1:29.179! Excellent job on nailing the first pole of the year EB!! We may need to crown you the King of Winter Testing Data Analysis!!

The results were so very tight this week that if anyone was 2 tenths away, they are out of the points. Wow!

The full results:



The Accuracy Standings are the same as the first round results:



The Points Standings are the same as the first round results:



Look sharp for the new thread as the Saudi GP deadline is this week! Once again it is on Thursday, so get your guess in quickly! I am posting it in a few minutes!!

Huge congrats to @Everso Biggyballies

See, sometimes edits do work out

It comes to something when you're less than a 10th off and only come third Our battle is much closer than the actual racing
